Recovery
Postpartum recovery
The months after birth bring fluid retention, heavy legs, and a pelvic floor and abdomen that need time. Here is how two novasonix platforms are used in that period.
What postpartum recovery involves
After pregnancy, the body carries extra fluid, the legs feel heavy, and the abdominal wall and pelvic floor are recovering from months of load. Every woman’s timeline is different and treatment follows it rather than leading it.
Two platforms are used: NOVAPRESS, with a dedicated pregnancy and postpartum drainage programme, and HEBE, which can be used to strengthen the pelvic floor.
Treatment begins only after the postnatal check and with the agreement of the midwife, GP or obstetrician, particularly following a caesarean section.
What it can do
Different technologies work in different ways, each offering a distinct approach to improving skin quality and appearance. Treatments are designed to fit into your daily routine, with comfort and downtime depending on the technology used. Your practitioner will explain how your chosen treatment works, what to expect and the most suitable course of sessions for your needs.
Questions people ask
How soon after birth can I start?
Not before your postnatal check, and only with the agreement of your midwife, GP or obstetrician. Clinics will ask.
I am breastfeeding. Is it suitable?
Tell your practitioner so they have the full picture.
Does it help with diastasis recti?
Your GP or a women’s health physiotherapist is the best person to ask about abdominal separation.
